<p style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">Effective July 1, 2017, Senate Bill (SB) 263 sets forth new requirements relating to the placement of students on abbreviated school day programs. With certain exceptions
(e.g., discipline in compliance with existing law, home schooling), students who do not have Individual Education Plans (IEPs) must not be placed on abbreviated school day programs without parent consent. For students with IEPs, an abbreviated school day
program may only be implemented after certain tasks are completed by the IEP team (placement determinations are made based on student need, parents are provided an opportunity to meaningfully participate, non-abbreviated school day program placement options
are considered, and the IEP states in writing the reasons why the student was placed on an abbreviated school day program.)

<p style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">SB 263 also contains a notice and acknowledgement provision. At least once per term, districts must provide written notice to, and obtain signed acknowledgement from parents
regarding abbreviated school day program rules and processes. Please find attached proposed language for districts to incorporate into their notice and acknowledgement forms.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
